I don’t have as much antipathy to “country-club Republicans” and certainly none to “Chamber-of-Commerce” types… Rockefeller Republicans, the big-business types, yeah, they’re a problem.

They’re the exact same people. The CoC has repeatedly followed the big goverment agenda. Amnesty is huge transfer of money from everyone else to the wealthy – favored by the CoC. The CoC has fought for tax increases. They’re not any sort of libertarians, and they sure as heck are not Jeffersons yeomanry.

They do a lot of moralizing about other people and want a big government. The argument I want to make is that they are not social conservatives, even though they talk a lot about things like abortion and prayer and what not.

Well, you’re making assertions but no argments here. Give me some specifics and we can discuss it.
